I Am A Deliberate Self Parody

[wolffyluna]

I am so close to my half a million words on ao3 (and thus, plausibly having written my one million words of crap.)

I'm planning to cap off those last ~1.5k words with a Horus/Sanguinius fic, because I like the symmetry of my first ao3 fics being Horus/Sanguinius, and crossing the half a million word mark with a Horus/Sanguinius fic.

I'm just laughing at myself a little.

You know that tumblr post about how you can lead fanfic writers to water, but you can't make them not be self characteristic. You can give a prompt like "sunlight," and some authors will "the sunlight glinted off his gun, as he prepared to kill the love his life, now turned by zombies into a shambling, suffering shell of their former self--"

Yeah. Um. I'm authors. More than I was-- egads, nearly 10 years ago exactly.

I thought I'd look at my earlier fics to see if that sparked any ideas. I found a cutesy first kiss fic for that ship, and I went, ahah, what a good fic to riff off of

And then my brain went. "First kiss? I've got a great idea!"

"What if they had their first kiss, and then Sanguinius saw visions of other times they might kiss, three out of five of which feature the untimely death of one or more of them :D"

And then I went-- you know what. Sure. It's an idea. Let's show off my growth as an author after ten years. 😆
